I guess what I meant to say is if in the summer we are unable to bring in another established striker then we should all be dissapointed. We want to improve on this season. Rafa failed to replace Keane and that decision left us thin in attack espcially with Stevie out. Strength in depth is the key to a true title challange. It remains to be seen if we will win the league this year but if we want to get to the next step we need another striker.

We are showing so much determination this season and it would be a damn shame if we failed to bolster the squad.

I'd take Martins on the cheap if Newcastle went down.

I've been reading really good things about Wolfsburgs Edin Dzek. Could be a good option as back up/ under study to nando, I think Arsenal might be keen on him though.

I dont want the Torres Gerrard partnership to change, which it could well do if another world class striker comes in and wants to start most games. Getting a player showing not just potential but but also real progress could be a good option as back up and for the future. Plus it would leave more money to improve other areas of the team.

was thinking people would be shy on Alves, but I think he just needs a change of scenery, Tuncay, Johnson and Downing are all decent shouts as well.

And wintersleep, everytime I have seen Dzeko (3 games) he has looked impressive

In case anyone is wondering kop_ainsy is not talking to himself above...it just looks that way after doing some tidying up.

Would love to see Tuncay and Downing here.... would improve us a lot.

I watched Daniel Alves (who seems to prefer Danny these days) with some interest in the match against Chelsea, having heard how he as the one that got away etc. It's the first time I've ever really seen him play, and my brief impressions (which may be all total b0ll0cks as it's not easy to judge on one game) were as follows:

Defensively, he had a good tussle with Malouda on the few occasions the Chelsea man got forward. I wouldn't rate him as the best right back defensively I've seen by a long shot though, although he's got a bit of pace about him and seems strong enough. He did have a wee roll about on the deck at one point before springing to his feet and running around like a spring chicken, and what with all his gesticulating he seems to me to be a bit of a drama queen.

It didn't require any insight on my part though as I've heard about his reputation to see that it's when he goes over the half way line that he really comes to life. He's obviously not afraid of bursting beyond the play, as he almost got in second half. He also distributes it well. He had one blockbuster shot in the second half which nobody seemed particularly surprised about, and he put two absolutely World class crosses in during the final fifteen minutes. One of them the young kid they brought on up top should have been shot for not scoring from, and the second one fizzed accross the goal and missed everyone. I think (although I'm not sure) that the first one was with his right foot, the second was I'm fairly sure with his left.

Anyways, whoevers fault it was/is that we didn't sign him (and I know most people are of the opinion it is Rick parry's fault) almost certainly made a fairly big blunder based on that, even for 12 million quid or whatever it was.

The other bloke who really impressed me aside from the superstars who only flickered intermittently like harbour lights when viewed from a fishing boat, was (I think his name is) Yaya Toure who gave a monsterous performance in midfield. He would improve Man Utd's team out of all recognition, as would the holder Porto had when they played them.

Messi, although doing absolutely feck all illumiates the match from time to time with a mesmeric swerve or piece of control. Like an A list actor who's taken a bit part in his mates movie just as a favour, even when he's got no lines he kind of drifts into the scene and steals the show. A truly wonderful footballer.

cheers badbob for clearing that up people might of started to think im a bit mad

I don't think your much of a youtube guy BigMick, and I am sure you can easily imagine the types of things he does on a weekly basis, but its still better to actually see it : Dani Alves this season so far

I like how on that last cross to messi with the outside of his boot he looks away for no particular reason at all :laugh:
